Molded waveguide feed and method for manufacturing same
A waveguide feed is fabricated by first creating a lead frame (10) from a piece of conductive material. The lead frame (10) is shaped by bending arms (22) and probe portions (18) on the lead frame (10) into a desired shape. The lead frame (10) is then placed in a mold and dielectric molding material...

| Zusammenfassung: | A waveguide feed is fabricated by first creating a lead frame (10) from a piece of conductive material. The lead frame (10) is shaped by bending arms (22) and probe portions (18) on the lead frame (10) into a desired shape. The lead frame (10) is then placed in a mold and dielectric molding material is added around relevant portions of the lead frame (10). After the dielectric molding material has solidified, excess molding material and extraneous portions of the lead frame (10) are removed from the molded feed assembly. The assembly can then be connectorized and inserted into a waveguide. |
